Backup / Restore

Backup/Restore is a utility that allows you to transfer complete sets of app and/or calibration data to and from your module. Possible uses include:

Transferring app data to a new O_C module,
Moving calibration to a replacement Teensy for the same O_C module,
Changing settings between pieces during live shows,
Intercontinental internet-based collaboration with other Hemisphere Suite users, or
Simply preparing for inevitable disaster.

Backing Up Your Module

Backup/Restore backs up data as it exists in the EEPROM. So if you want to take a backup of the O_C’s current state, save the module’s state by long-pressing the right button from the main menu.

Connect your computer or tablet to the module and enter the Backup/Restore app on your module. Turn either encoder to choose “Data” or “Calibration.” Enable recording on your SysEx Librarian software, and then press the right encoder button ([BACKUP]). The size of the data dump will be 172 bytes for Calibration, and about 2.5K for Data.

Restoring Your Module

Connect your computer or tablet to the module and enter the Backup/Restore app on your module. Press the left encoder button ([RESTORE]). Backup/Restore will indicate that it is listening for SysEx data. From your SysEx Librarian software, initiate the dump. The module’s screen should indicate a progress bar. When the restore is successful, the module returns to the saved state.

If you use Backup/Restore to restore calibration settings, you’ll need to cycle the power on your module for the restored calibration settings to become active.
